CoastalWx Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The lift is so high up where it's like -30C or colder. That will give you the crappy pixie dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxsniss Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Steady light snow. Probably 0.2 now? You're slant sticking it... multiple measurements I get 0.075 to 0.125, but heavy drifts are probably skewing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Doubt it. Snow growth is pretty awful. The first few tenths might be pretty high ratio, but these types of flakes have no ability to stand on eachother, so once it gets over a half inch or so or an inch, it compresses quickly. More like cake.flour here...still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 OT but NAM gives perhaps 2 inches Monday. Yeah I mentioned it in the other thread....most guidance has at least an inch or so. Might end up a tad juicier...gotta wring out something removing this cold airmass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Some weird dry air here, the max snow zone is mostly doing nothing on the cape and here. I don't think I've seen a flake yet. NOAA can't catch a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOAA can't catch a break. Some of the later guidance showed better lift out west from the decaying primary system and then a hole further east before getting to the secondary stuff that perhaps the Cape and Islands can catch....it looks like they will eventually. Esp the outer Cape and ACK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Actually picking up to heavier light snow. Might be 1 mile vis now woo. Maybe can pull off .25, maybe .5"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually see a couple stary dendrites mixed in with this little burst right now. About one dendrite every couple seconds, lol. Too bad this wasn't just a smidge more robust...it would be a classic advisory event with 0.15" of qpf if thatlift was deeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 This has over performed despite never leaving ratter status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 This has over performed despite never leaving ratter status. A few hours of steady snow is always nice to see in mid winter in these cold conditions...despite if this system looked a lot better several days ago. Reminds us that it can still feel like deep winter even in tough times. The one advantage of cold and dry over warm and dry. You get events like these. Warm and dry sucks in January.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Horrible snow growth but still coming down steady despite the radar. .25" or so down. Meh, but nice to see and will look pretty on the stale snow pack. Off to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 We def have several tenths because the cracks in the sidewalk are covered, lol.
